Please make sure that you calculate your percent error on your results page. Do so by subtracting your average energy (joules/gram) from the accepted value (23,908.57 J/g), and dividing that number by the accepted value. Multiply by 100 to turn it into a percent. The formula is below:
% error = | your result - accepted value | x 100
accepted value
